US Patent 11330005 Privileged account breach detections based on behavioral access patterns

Disclosed is an improved approach for detecting potentially malicious activity on a network. The present improved approach generates a multi-dimensional activity model based on captured network activity. Additional network activity is captured, and relative activity values are determined therefor. Determination of whether the additional network activity corresponds to potentially malicious activity is obtained by fitting the relative activity values of the additional network activity to the multi-dimensional relative activity model.
